You will need to call a phtml file into the static block:

{{block type="core/template" template="YOUR_PHTML_FILE"}}

Replace “YOUR_PHTML_FILE” with the path to your phtml file from the app/design/frontend/YOUR_PACKAGE/YOUR_THEME/template directory.

For example, let’s say you have your phtml file named “test.phtml” in the template/page/html directory, you would replace “YOUR_PHTML_FILE” with “page/html/test.phtml”

Once that is done, add the following code to your phtml file:

<?php 
    $_helper = Mage::helper('catalog/category');
    $_categories = $_helper->getStoreCategories();
    
    if (count($_categories) > 0)
    {
        foreach($_categories as $_category)
        {
            echo $_category->getName().'<br />';
        }
    }
?>

You should now have a list of all top level categories. If you want to show root and sub categories, look at this site: http://magentosnippet.blogspot.com/2011/06/getting-all-top-and-sub-categories-in.html

With a little tweaking you can get this to work in your phtml file instead of the top.phtml file.

I hope this helps
